White millennials complain about their relatively limited options, and how they don't have the same opportunities as Baby Boomers had.
But when the black community have the very same objections regarding their opportunities in comparisons to the white community.
It is somehow an issue?
Its only an issue if you let it be!
That's all I was getting at!
Then again I'm not the one to sit and complain, when I see black immigrants come to the US and make it that gives me even more inspiration to achieve for higher.
This black skin can only hold me back so far, with a strong mind and fighting spirit!
This my last Uncle Tom/Jesse Peterson/conservative traitor black man post here I promise fellas!
Peace!
Brah I'm an immigrant from the West Indies. And I'm telling your their is major flaw in your reasoning
The part of the story you're missing is that the people self select to migrate to the United States, some of the most motivated ones are ones who come to the United States. It is like German engineering, there are plenty of crappy German products, the ting is they never make it to America shores. Immigrants work sorta the same way
Not all black West Indians are highly motivated, not all Africans too. And definitely very few people get a chance to leave their homeland where they have limited opportunities. So when you have such a opportunity to leave like coming to the United States you seize it. Another thing, coming from a homogeneous culture, education is a large factor of you life outcomes. Those views become cultural, so in the West Indies and African everyone believe that education and studying will get you ahead, because it does in their countries. Plus the workload is more advanced in many places so your in the mode of bustin your tail to get ahead.
In American it is different. African Americans in general have access to ****tier schools compared to whites, and they only recently had universal access to some of the resources whites have had access to for over decades. Like public universities. Stuff like that leads to having different attitudes about things
But there are a ton of motivated young black people out there that want to claw there selves outta the hole but society has routinely failed them.
Either handicapped the family from acquiring wealth for decades, they took his dad away from him for some BS, his schools is crap, he is being funneled into special education classes, he is harassed by police routinely, it takes him longer to find work, they don't send into the world with any life skills at 18, surely don't prepare him for college, they ruin his like for a non violent drug crime, and after having to deal with all/some/one of those instances of oppression, we turn to that young black person and say..........Pull yourself up by your bootstraps
You don't see who the two groups are different?
